Topic: MayTag not draining (Read 16991 times)

Back to basics, does the TUB SPIN when in the SPIN section of the timer? You can see the transmission spin when the front is off. If that does SPIN and when you held the impeller (FINS) in the pump and turned the shaft & it turned but impeller did NOT, you need a pump. That is the easiest way to check it. The machine reverses to drain & spin & can be seen with the front off & the transmission spinning. I don't pay attention to the rotation of the pump(it will turn same direction as the transmission) In aggitation it the transmission wil be staitonary,spin it reverses & transmission will rotate.

About the icons: The beer is tip link, if a tech saves ya some money buy em a 6 pack. The small green square=personal message. The green dot is a link to my web page on appliance repair and other general BS I love to post. The letter sends me email.I love fan letters! LOL

Start off this way, when starting the washer, fill with water, and it go back and forth for the wash part, next it should drain for the rinse, but does not. When it get to the spin cycle the tub is still fill with water. Tub is spinning counter clockwise, and as well as the motor. I can see motion in the of water flowing counter clockwise also.

I know sound like broken recorder, at some point the motor should reverse itself. It has enough wires going to it. On top of the motor their is little box with wire coming for the timer, and wires come out the motor it. As guess earlier it the start for the motor?

If the timer did not fix the problem then the motor is bad. Replace the motor Look at it like this> you have a better washer than you can buy now so spend the money on a motor.
